The Admins should bookmark that url and check it before trying to activate anything new. On that note, please go carefully when activating new features. We want to get the most out of the new system but we don't want to overload it with stuff.

OK I am going from here to turn the system back on. I know it was a long time coming so I thank you all for your patience and your support.

Apparently this "upgrade" is more like an brand new installation and as noted in the MA Talk forum, many of the existing settings need to be checked and adjusted as needed.

I set the permissions on all of the user forums so that people can post new topics and reply - the normal stuff. The forum permissions are very complex partially because of all of the new features in this version of the software, so if features are not available that you think should be, the Admin needs to check those permission screens. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to change the permissions wholesale, so I had to do it one forum at a time. Probably safer that way but because this is such a large system, it was a bit of a pain in the butt.

If you can't resolve things yourself, let me know and I will try to help.
